>>2507226I think the constant seething about the engine is misguided. Empire was shit for many reasons but later games generally worked better or worse depending on polish.Also they are actually finally doing a full "new engine" now.The 3k thing I am mad about though. They talked about what was going to be the next update until days before it got future'd. I don't get why they felt the need to make an announcement out of it.
>>2507236It is a list of all the things done bad by Sega / CA, the engine was one of them, even if they polished it later on. >full "new engine" now.I doubt this is actually true.They already said that with 3K, and later when modders tried to do mods, CA had to clarified it was a "new version" of the same Empire engine.>I don't get why they felt the need to make an announcement out of it.They realised the chinese consoomers, despite "mun national-communism" have actual very low standards, so they hyped them with the "new things" and then switch to "new sequel" that "will have that make great 3K but with more and better cuntent".I think they realised they could re-sell the same game with the "new engine" as an addition, basically what they have done with Sh2 - Cuck Edition (the demaster was just 3K graphics imported to the OG Sh2, not an actual proper remaster).
they'll fix a few bugs and maybe do the manual upscaling to avoid the anti-ai crowd and that will be it. Bare minimum.
A modder has already fixed the CE. In 4 days he did what mataboo couldn't.
>>2507266Kek'd.But it will no matter, CA will steal it and re-sell it as the CE again (little reminder that a modder did for free a R2 mod that made the desert kingdom playable, CA stole it, resold it as DLC and banned the modder).
>>2507259I suspect that it will be exactly this. They'll make a big show of remaking the unit cards to shut up the anti-AI schizos. Schizos will call shogun 2 saved and declare victory. Now that it's kosher normalfags are allowed to like it and anyone who points out it's still a lazy cash grab that has no right to exist will be shouted down. Consoomers will buy it to play it for 2h to show they are cultured, everyone will forget it by next month and pretend the whole thing never happened. Plebbit will just go back to all warhammer all the time.
>>2507346I wonder to what extent and in what way CA has to screw things up for even plebbit refuse to keep consooming Warhammer.
TW oldfags are one of they gayest online communitieslike just move on to better games
>>2507226>Arena, aka failed MOBAWas fun and i would like IP to be abolished so someone can make servers /rebuild the game
>>2507498Like med 2
>>2507226Its what those chuds deserve for NOT running with the pack!!! Hyenabros our vengeance is at hand.
>>2507498I would, but there are none.All modern TW games suck, and non-TW games of this kind are cheaply made.
I lernted nuthing from dismust hit next turn
>>2507505Make a legally distinct version with a legally distinct nameAbsolute Battle Field.
>>2507590Yeah that's the thing. Strategy games of any sort are generally fairly niche and as bad as TW gets, it's not like there's any competition with similar formula. There are some games like ultimate general that maybe are similar, but they are vey much low budget type of thing and usually don't have the 4x campaign layer. It's usually much simpler wargame.
>>2507226>The standards people expect from CA and Total WarThis slop is exactly the standard I expect from them thoughbeit
>>2507625Kek'd.>>2507773Seeing the cool things AI has done, doing crazy combination of games, perhaps there is a chance for TW, but it has be done by the players, not CA.
for 15 years i have been trying to capture the feeling i had when playing rome 1 as a kid on my shitty laptop.Didn't manage.
>>2509721Same here anon, same here.Now you see CA saying they had nothing to do with the CE, it was a Sega thing, despite their stuff was nonstop praising it.
>>2509989>despite their stuff was nonstop praising itTo give the benefit of the doubt, if anyone at CA began shittalking CE prior to release Sega would have had their head.
>>2510080>CA began shittalking CEGiven how CA has treated its own games since Empire, in 2009, I doubt that would have ever happened.
>>2507226yeah pretty much, CA is cancer and sooner one finds out, better is. also all the bullshit with creators program started with rome2. not by chance
>shogun 2 is a vibe coded mess>creator program infested with pedophilesuhhh YIKES
>>2507773some competition there is and it was, but mostly small studio stuff like ultimate general series or indie.considering that activision dropped CA at the high of rome1 for not being profitable, al empire almost killed CA for the same reason, no AA studio even consider to make an alternative because the pie is so small that it's questionable the existence the franchise in the first place. 3 kingdoms and warhammer are just another example that the formula, as the historical community envision, is not worth.
>>2507226>learn nothing from the "experiments" (Arena,i forgot about that game lolit was my last tw
